JD-Plus Double Strength is a comprehensive support formula for joint and connective tissue health.
Recommended to provide optimum joint and connective tissue health in dogs with maximum need for structure and function
support. Its also recommended for adult and maturing dogs, sporting and working breeds as well as a follow-up to orthopedic surgery.
Perna Canaliculus, an edible species of shellfish, from New Zealand that has been freeze-dried to preserve the activity of the
factors. Perna provides many of the factors necessary to maintain healthy connective tissue as well as support processes required for injured or aged joints. It is rich in amino acids, polypeptides, naturally chelated minerals, fatty acids, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), vitamins, glycoproteins, protein complexes, polysaccharides and the nucleic acids RNA and DNA. Perna contains all major classes of GAGs including Chondroitin 4- and 6- Sulfates that occur in connective tissue such as joint cartilage,
tendons, ligaments, and synovial fluids. The Perna used in our JD products is time-tested and cost effective!
Glucosamine has been shown to support Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis in cartilage matrix and synovial fluid as well as
proteoglycan and collagen synthesis. GAGs are the principle components of cartilage and the synovial fluid found in the joint. As dogs age, there is a decrease in the production of GAGs, which can result in joint stress, thinning of synovial fluid, and
breakdown of connective tissue.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) supports metabolism as a source of organic sulfur. MSM supports the normal rebuilding of joints and connective tissue and provides raw materials to create new cells.
DMG is a natural amino acid found in the body that can help animals maintain a strong immune system. DMG supports the methylation pathway by supplying methyl groups for modification, building and detoxifying many constituents in the body
DMG can support physical and mental energy levels and efficient oxygen utilization in tissues. It acts as an antioxidant to
protect the joints; and helps reduce lactic acid build-up. Four U.S. Patents on DMG have been awarded to U.S. Animal
Nutritionals® of Vermont, based on almost 30 years of extensive research into its role in the immune response.
Manganese supports the formation of collagen, GAGs, and proteoglycans.
